note on single machine and flowshop scheduling with a general learning effect model and some single machine and m machine flowshop scheduling problems with learning considerations
Information Sciences, 2010Co-Authors: Darli YangAbstract:In this note, we show that the main results in the two papers [C.C. Wu, W.C. Lee, Single-machine and flowshop scheduling with a general learning effect model, Computers and Industrial Engineering 56 (2009) 1553-1558, W.C. Lee, C.C. Wu, Some single-machine and m-machine flowshop scheduling problems with learning considerations, Information Sciences 179 (2009) 3885-3892] are incorrect.

orientation of undergraduates toward careers in the computer and Information Sciences gender self efficacy and social support
ACM Transactions on Computing Education, 2011Co-Authors: Mary Beth Rosson, John M Carroll, Hansa SinhaAbstract:Researchers have been working to understand the factors that may be contributing to low rates of participation by women and other minorities in the computer and Information Sciences (CIS). We describe a multivariate investigation of male and female university students’ orientation to CIS careers. We focus on the roles of self-efficacy and peer-based social support as social-cognitive variables in the students’ learning process. We explore these variables and their impact on career orientation through a set of overlapping regression models. In general, we find that strong social support and high self-efficacy are associated with strong orientation toward careers in CIS careers. However the influences of perceived self-efficacy and social support appear to differ for men and women: while low self-efficacy is tied to less social support for males, we see no similar tendency for females. In fact many females who report themselves as low in self-efficacy consider themselves to have high social support among their peers. We discuss the implications of our findings for programs aimed at outreach to both males and females regarding CIS education and careers.

Developing an online community for women in computer and Information Sciences: A design rationale analysis
Proceedings of the Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences, 2011Co-Authors: Mary Beth Rosson, Elizabeth Thiry, Dejin Zhao, John M CarrollAbstract:We describe the evolutionary development of an online community system designed to support a devel-opmental learning community of women - wConnect. The goal of this community is to engage, connect and support women at different developmental levels with respect to education and career goals in the computer and Information Sciences. We chronicle the system's development through design rationale motivated our decisions about how to support the online community activities. We present initial design goals, summarize the path we have followed thus far, and present a de-sign rationale account of the decisions influencing this path. We close with a brief summary of wConnect and our future plans for its online community system.

a case library for teaching usability engineering design rationale development and classroom experience
Journal on Educational Resources in Computing (JERIC), 2005Co-Authors: John M Carroll, Mary Beth RossonAbstract:Case studies of professional software development practices describe how real (or realistic) projects are planned and executed. Cases provide engaging models of the activities and materials of software development to students and other novice practitioners. They vividly remind learners of the possibilities for meaningfully applying knowledge and skills in the world beyond the classroom. During the past six years, we have developed and used a collection of usability engineering case studies for teaching human-computer interaction, primarily to upper-level undergraduates in computer science and in Information Sciences and technology. In this article we describe the rationale for this approach, the structural schema and browser that we developed for case studies, the case-based activities we employ in courses, and the experiences of instructors and students who have used the cases.

2020Co-Authors: Murray Rudman, Mahesh PrakashAbstract:ABSTRACT Full three-dimensional simulation of the impact of a rogue wave on a semi-submersible platform is undertaken using the Smoothed Particle Hydrodynamics (SPH) technique. Two different mooring configurations are considered: A Tension Leg Platform (TLP) system and a Taut Spread Mooring (TSM) system. It is seen that for a wave impact normal to the platform side, the heave and surge responses of the platform are significantly different for the two mooring systems. The TLP system undergoes large surge but comparatively smaller heave motions than the TSM system. The degree of pitch is very similar. The total tension in the mooring cables is approximately four times higher in the TSM system and exceeds the strength of the cables used in the simulation. SPH is seen to be an attractive alternative to standard methods for simulating the coupled interaction of highly non-linear breaking waves and structural motion
